Mesenteric lymphangioma causing bowel obstruction in a child

S Troum et al. South Med J. 1996 Aug.

Abstract

Mesenteric lymphangioma was manifested as a bowel obstruction in a child with cerebral palsy. Diagnosis was not confirmed until the time of laparotomy. Mesenteric lymphangioma is rare but should be considered in a child with bowel obstruction and no other known abdominal disease.
